Shakespeare Saved My Life

Ten Years in Solitary With the Bard

Although Bates' writing style is simple and somewhat repetitive, making it an easy read, the content is fascinating. I was intrigued with life-prisoner/murderer Larry Newton's attitude change with his exposure to Shakespeare study, and his critical thinking skills in applying it to his life. Makes me wonder what has happened with him in the three years since the book was published now that he is denied further education.
